But“After Banks pitched it to me, the same day, Margo Martindale texted me and said, ‘Are you doing this movie?’” Russell says of herdoing this movie?!’ And I was like, ‘Well, now I’m definitely doing this movie!’ The thought of going to Ireland, which is where we shot it, and being with Margo in a movie calledInspired by real events from 1985 ,.
How much of a deep dive did you do on the real story? Maybe I shouldn’t be doing this, but I keep explaining to people that the first bit of the movie is true, whereas the bear going on a killing rampage is some added fiction. But way more enjoyable than that talented person was our closeups on the attacks, which mostly amounted to Jesse and Margo standing off-camera and laughing at me while I did mine, and then I did the same for them. And Banks yelling into a microphone, giving us the blow-by-blow of the attacks. “Okay, they’re climbing up a tree and he’s ripping his face off and there’s blood squirting everywhere, and now his leg is just being thrown from the tree.” It was insanity, and just us laughing so hard.
